Question #4

Suskind describes the groups at Brown University with both positive and negative aspects that are attributed to the division. On page 292 Suskind starts with a description of divisions between racial and ethnic identities. One group that was of racial and ethnic division was that of Latin Americans where there is a specific Association in which may Latinos belong without much diversity within this association in creates both positive aspects of unity and negative aspects of the ideal that it is us , meaning members of the association, against people in the out group.Although Suskind talks a lot about the division among ethnic groups he also talks how there was a group for every ethnic background not including heterosexual white males which leaves them as the out group in which the groups that formed see the heterosexual white male as a mere figment of the past as oppressors not by acts , but by history. This groups are extremely negative that do not show what unity really is the instead separate one and cause the revelation of racism among each group. It shows in twisted way how our United States is really divided among ethnic groups. It is amazing how that with the name of this nation in the world “United,” and yet we have no unity among all within this nation.
